Kenny Chesney - That’s Why I’m Here: chords

E            A
I ain't had nothin to drink
B                       E
I knew thats probably what you'd think
A             B               E
If I dropped by this time of night
E         A
Remember way back when
B              E
I promised you I'd drop in
A                B                  E
At one of those meeting down at the Y

 A                                B
Well, they started talkin 'bout steps you take
    E
Mistakes you make the hearts you break
          A
And the price you pay
          B
I almost walked away
           A               B
You could hear a pen drop when this old man
  E
Stood up and said I'm gonna say it again
        A
Like I do every week
               B
For those who don't know me

Chorus:
E                A
Its the simple things in life
          B                  E
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
          A                       B
That you miss the most, when you lose control
           A                       B
And everything you love starts to disappear
     E
The devil takes your hand and say say no fear
       A                B
Have another shot, just one more beer
                  A   B               E  A B
Yeah, I've been there, thats why I'm here

This old boy stood up in the isle
Said he'd been living' a life of denial
Then he cried, as he talked about wasted years
I couldn't believe what I heard
It was my life word for word
And all of the sudden, it was clear

Chorus

           A                 B
I know for us it may be too late
              A
But it would mean the world to me
              B
If you were there when I stand to say

Chorus

OOH, I've been there
That's why I'm here
